<p>I think it'd be super useful if something like <code>@rustbot subscribe library/core/src/fmt</code> would make the bot ping me on every PR that changes something in that file/folder. The high five bot already has that with a static configuration, but that isn't used much. If it was more dynamic, I'd probably use it a lot while working on a large change to some part of the code.</p>

<p>Do the bots have any persistent state right now?</p>

<p>I know triagebot has a database to keep track of people's notifications for <a href="http://triage.rust-lang.org/notifications?user=username">triage.rust-lang.org/notifications?user=username</a></p>

<p>yep, triagebot has full access to a postgres db, we can stash any needed state there</p>
